Kings patron - antlers

Game Master Mardavig

How are you for healing in the party right now? We should probably load up on healing potions or a CLW wand or something.

I have one cure light prepped, I kind of loaded my spells today hoping to tame the boar, but seeing as that failed I am currently short on heal spells.

unfortunately I cannot spontanious cast cure spell.

It's Victoria Day weekend in the Fabled Canadas and that means I may be on even less than usual this weekend including Monday. Please enjoy your weekend. I shall be sporting my finest tail coat and hefting my monocle to uphold the Victorian traditions that the Fabled Canadas are so well known for.

Queen Victoria = Best Queen.

Empress of India of represent!

Since I've already been accepted, I figured it would be quicker to ask this here.
Do I start with average for second level gold, or average+class gold or more or less, etc?

Info I got from Mardavig was

Level 2 character, 500 gold, at least 1 campaign trait, 20 point buy.

And hp is average+2

OK.
I'm out of school for the Summer. Once I get home, I can put everything together in my profile, calculating saves, etc.

Jenya is correct, that is what I intended.

I feel like I'm finished, but if someone could point out the glaringly obvious things I've missed, that'd be great.

If these are somehow not present, I'll meet you at the temple.

Go ahead and introduce yourself in the gameplay thread Carter.

How detailed are we getting with horses? Never played with horses before but I guess Jenya would have to get a saddle and some saddlebags and feed etc? How far in the weeds are we getting really?

take a look at White eagle's profile, that is about as detailed as I got.

also I mentioned this before, but I decided that White Eagle may be multi-classing into Barbarian, but he will be concentrating more on the nature aspect utilizing the spirit totem rage powers

any thoughts on that?

I've never really liked mutliclassing because you lose out on the coolest powers near the end of the levels.
But, that is just personal preference.
Flavor wise, it fits just as well.

needs:
Horse
Bit/bridle
Saddle
saddlebags

that should cover it.

Mechanically speaking Jenya's got decent armor and good HP but can't mix it up in melee at all and it seems like the rest of the group is pretty fragile. If Barbarian makes Chief a better frontline fighter then that works well I think.

Ok Jenya will buy:

one of the horses for 75gp
a riding kit for 16gp (google is amazing for saving money!)
for 91 gp.

She'll also pick up a rangers's kit for 9gp if available for more general survivability stuff :)

Even 100 gp spent out of 274.6 she had.

Of the 174.6 left she will ask Oleg if he has or can order in a masterwork backpack and trade her current backpack (and the one that came with the ranger's kit for 2gp off which means 48gp

Leaving 126.6 gp which she'll save up for later I think.

She'll also ask Oleg about the possibility of ordering in the materials for gun ammo so she can load up later as needed (alright right now)

Carter was actually built as a front liner. He doesn't look like much, but he has a lot of buffs.

Ah, Feather should have been a tip off for that :). That's good. So really for the party either more shaman or more barbarian would be very nice.

He was originally a rage chemist in addition to this, but I feel like the demerits of that archetype outweigh the benefits.
I also wanted to focus more on the creepy crawly vivisectionists stuff.
Which reminds me.
I need a flanking buddy, so I can get sneak damage bonus. :)

There's no need to get too detailed with the horses. I threw all that stuff in about Murkey as a lark. Most people name their horses and that's it. The mostly just provide the base movement speed that allows for travel and exploration.

Oleg will make a note of Jenya's request for a backpack and order it presently.

Sadly gunpowder is almost unknown in Brevoy. You could order the basic ingredients from a (small a) alchemist and prepare it yourself. Or order it from Numeria at a considerable premium.

Also after the fight with Tuskgutter I forgot to mention you can level up to Level 3

Jenya will buy Murkey (and the riders kit stuff for flavour and it's cheap anyway). Jenya's gunsmithing feat should allow her to craft all that stuff from the base ingredients. Would it still need to be ordered in or can Oleg get it pretty easily? Any cost for ordering stuff in?

We'll do the deal based on the price of finished black powder. Oleg will order the various raw materials at a cost of 10gp per dose, you provide the labour and equipment to process it, and it's done.

He will not have your order ready until the next time you return here however.

Does the feature of the gunsmithing feat which allows this to occur at 10% of listed price (1gp per dose of black powder and 0.1 gp for the bullet, so 1.1gp and a day of work with a gunsmith kit instead of 11gp per shot) not apply?

All leveled up to level 3 now, added the bow and the arrows as well as the money we got. a couple of Barbarian levels will do us some good.

Having now looked at the feat, yes it does allow you to pay 1/10th the cost. I assume because you are so skilled you can make the same amount of black powder with substantially less raw materials.

Alright Jenya will order enough supplies to create 5 more doses of powder and shot (5.5 gp) and 3 more paper cartidges (18 gp) from some local alchemy. Leaving 103.1 gp Done shopping. Levelled up as well :)

working on a map. we were using Anton's map before the split so I may try and salvage what i can from that but my map skills are really bad.

this could be awhile i have to recreate everything from scratch and go through everything to figure out what we explored so far. right now all I have is a blank hex map with Oleg's on it. everything else i need to redo.

and figure out how to use the program while doing that. so it may be a day or two before we can even move on.

what I can figure out. the fort and the vision are gonna have to be separate we either go to the fort or follow the vision they are too far apart to do in series.
if we go to the fort it does not matter what anyone yells White Eagle, he received a vision and until he lays eyes on the destination personally he has to go there.

this may cause a prolonged delay in involvement in other things. especially if it leads to nothing. but in character he does not care. all those that received the vision with him have abandoned him so he has no trust in anything they would tell him.

How up to date is the image under your name? You could use that as a base. I'm no good with image editing either but it doesn't have to be very fancy I think.

the one under my name is up to date but I ma working on adding to it what we did (which was really only a single hex. so i think that we as a group may be several days in the past from everyone else. but I really am not sure anymore.

I lost so much enthusiasm after the group split up I was only going through the motion of playing until something better came along.

but now I I am feeling more enthused, but afraid we lost alot of time and I have personal quests that probably cannot be completed anymore.

also i have to put in the Fort on the map assuming we were given its location. after all Anton had the map before so I don't know if the other team even shared its location with me. (it may have been pre-split or during the split, leaving me pretty much left alone of my own devices.

the best thing I did was ensure that White Eagle marked all the trails as he traveled so he could navigate any explored hex without a map.

I am thinking that we should forget the fort and follow the vision since I really don't know the fort's location. maybe we could run into another group or we will find it on our own eventually.

Either way we are probably behind in exploration and discovering new stuff.

EDIT I know the location OOC, but in character he does not know as far as I can recall.

IC we could ask Oleg where it is. But if you prefer to do vision first I think that is fine as well. Either way we could quest and explore our way there.

I personally think we should just systematically explore all the hexes. Cover as much ground as we can.

we may be just re exploring hexes uncovered by other groups but it will be new to us.

the vision is West and the fort is south if I remember correctly (but the fort info based on OOC knowledge only)

Ok, we can work our way west to the vision and then south towards the fort. We do have a message to deliver as well right?

Let's just do the vision. It's important to Carter in character.
Egyptian tradition says Dreams are very important things, that your spirit leaves your body and sees messages that the gods intend for you.

West it is. Hex 03.01 from the map.

before we leave, is there a list of goods on hand that can be purchased (potions, scrolls, wands, etc)

No need for potions.
I can make those.
Not that anyone's asked....
:P

I think for stuff just buy it and gm will say if that's available or needs to be ordered in

Won't need potions thanks to carter but wands are good value.

Since we've decided West can someone post that IC in the game thread?

You do have IC knowledge of where the fort is because Kazz told you how to get there.

Oleg has, in his inventory: a heavy wooden shield, 2 hand axes, javelins, a longbow, arrows, a scythe, spears, a potions of shield of faith +2, vials of antitoxin, torches, enough venison jerky to make you sick, a suit of magical chainmail, a magical dagger, leather armour, enough animal furs to wrap a house in, and half a dozen wands of cure light wounds.

Are the hand axes for throwing? I meant to get one earlier, but I forgot.

ok thanks for the list. I will post IC shortly

Also when I get home I can post a link for the newest map I got..

need to be sure everyone has access to dropbox, if not let me know.

also the meat we got from tuskgutter is available to made into Jerky White eagle is giving that to Oleg for free as well as the Tuskgutter hide. (supply and demand, wouldn't be worth much anyway.)

link to new map

let me know if you guys can see this map...

I have to edit the map for our new travel plans. but I first want to be sure we all can see the map

link to new map with new travel direction

Can dropbox be used without an account?

Looks like no.

I will try a different way please be patient.

the map in my stat line was not mine so I cannot edit it nor know how it was made so I am working on a new map
